Sea bound souls (pirate RP) (OOC, Sign up)

(1/7) > >>

Jacoby Quinn:
Some of you may remember more clearly, but those of you who don't, you get a rude awakening as a wave washes over the deck of The shameful hanged. Your last memory was that of a smoky tavern, and a lot of drinks. And a call for a crew that you signed.
It's not a ship you've heard much about if you've heard about it at all, not out of mystery, but rather a lack of importance. Either way though, you look to be far out into open water, and you aren't THAT good at swimming, so for the time you're stuck here. It's not so bad. The sun is warm, the waves are calm, and a good wind fills the sails. One of the crewmates is going around waking people up, he's an otter, fairly large, but his muscles ripple from his long life aboard the ship. "Oy, yer, already awake? Well, get up, yer not gettin paid t' be a barnacle"
______________________
Okay, so we're in the golden age of piracy. I have a few positions open on the ship, but not every character needs a position. You can just be a crewmember if you wish
The positions are as follows
Ship's cook
Navigator
gunner
boarding party member (need at least 2 of these)
Cabin Boy
crowsnest
ships carpenter

Any positions not filled by players will be filled by characters that I will create

ALL WEAPONS MUST BE GOLDEN AGE OF PIRACY this means around 1650-1730
this means mostly flintlock weapons, swords, and bows
but you aren't specifically restricted to those

That said
RULES!
because a captain has to keep his crew in line

1.no godmodding. You're not going to swim faster than a ship, and you're not a superhero.
2.no metagaming. if you know there is treasure, and your character doesn't, and your character goes for the treasure, guess what? You're metagaming.
3. Forum rules! Obey them, if you get keelhauled by the admins, you probably deserve it.
4.stick to the historical timeline, your character isn't going to be the chemist pioneer who discovers napalm and starts burning down ships.
5.get along! You're all on the same ship, same crew. If you don't play nicely, you're going to the brig.
6. don't stock your character with a ridiculous number of weapons.
7.If I chose an AGM his character gets the position of first mate. You may make another character to be first mate, promote your own, I don't care. My AGM is in charge too. What they say is not to be argued with, waited for, or otherwise belayed or delayed by anyone but me.
8.careful with alcohol use. I know we are pirates, but if you over use, you're walking the plank
9.have fun.
and
10. Take what you can, give nothing back!

H e spent several years working and toiling on various military ships across the world, representing his country whether he wanted to or not, soon enough managed to earn himself some regard as a navigater, the captain having lost the enemy in the oncoming fog, it was only due to his experience and an uncountable amount of nights breaking into the captains room and studying the various charts and books within that he was able to suddenly take charge and avoid a mass of rocks, with the captain in his debt he concluded his time being forced to work in the navy, and managed a ship of his own, for five long years he fought pirates and defended his homeland, before the politics of his home decided that his methods were to "unorthodox".
